On Monday, May 7 2018, a federal bench sentenced him to a five year imprisonment after the court found him guilty of pointing a rifle at a neighbour and her two small children outside his house in 2017.

The neighbour and her children were returning home at the time of incident and upon sensing danger, they ran to a nearby house and called police as reported by KCRG News.

Naholi, whose Facebook profile shows he hails from Nakuru, rushed into his house and locked himself up forcing the Cedar Rapids Police to engage him in an 11 hour standoff that lasted the following day.
